SPACE IN ARCHITECTURE

Architecture as we know it is the branch of design that is responsible for human-scale space, the spaces created by buildings,houses, squares, etc. are the elements that relationship with people.There fore,the spatiality that is generated or created through architecture (external and internal spaces) is that man lives on a daily basis, there fore we can say that architecture is a generator of both external spaces through its relationship with the environment and generates internal spaces through its internal volumetric composition, this includesrunning,movement, among others.

SCALE IN ARCHITECTURE

Scale is the size of objects compared to something that serves as a reference.

Proportion speaking at the same time the proper relationship of one element to another. This term comes from the hand at all times with architecture as this is the tool to reach and architecture meets the needs of people, answering their design these human dimensions.

Human Scale: The relationship of the proportions of an architectural space with respect to the dimensions of the human body.

Generic scale: size of a building element relative to other forms context.

HUMAN SCALE AND GENERIC SCALE

A few days ago I took some pictures of the towers of silence. These towers are a landmark for the capital; two parallelepipeds can be seen from many places in Caracas for his great height.
In these pictures, we see that the human scale is a reference to highlight the size of buildings. The two volumes are raised on a square that serves as a supplier to several avenues of Caracas and at a bus terminal located on the bottom.
It is also noted that the towers have more proportion than the surrounding context. These ratios help make a line of symmetry that divides the city into two. This axis of symmetry is not only visual, as is indicated by Avenue Bolivar crossing below the towers. The CSB has an infinite number of uses that address the needs of people living in the capital
